In June 2016 we sold Cedar Pond and moved over the mountains and far away. We now live in Deer Park , WA where the weather is a bit more extreme than Cedar Pond's and in spite of the challenges we're rejoicing in life in our new home with field and forest just outside our back door. God is so good to us !

Tea-Time Tuesday, But Where's the Tea?

It is again 'Tea-Time Tuesday ', and also the time of year around here for daffodils.

This lovely daffodil teacup was obtained by me for the price of some frizzled chickens.Daffodils are a popular flower around here in Western Washington. There are fields and fields of them. We have an annual Daffodil Parade with Daffodil Princesses. This teacup says "MARCH DAFFODIL ", probably assuming the daffodils bloom somewhere, sometime, in March. In our gardens the daffodils did not open their sunny faces until the first week of April.The saucer is so pretty. The lady who traded the teacup for chickens received this teacup from her mother's estate I believe about 20 years ago. There are no other markings on this teacup or saucer, but it appears to my untrained eye to be Lustreware.

Daffodils, teacups, a sunny day ~ delights of the heart & eyes. But this teacup looks so empty and is just calling for...

...CHICKS ! Doesn't everyone put chicks in their teacup?

Cute, little, yellow, fluffy, chicks!

The chicks seem to be looking for something though.

Tea! Hey,where's the tea?

I am sure if you visit the ladies listed below they are showing you their beautiful teacups and probably serving up something delicious along with inspiration. Please be sure to leave them a comment after you've had your tea !

What a delightful and cheerful post, Kathy! Those chicks are so sweet. I think I see a vase with a sheep on it, too. That is such a pretty cup and saucer to go with your pretty daffodils. I enjoyed this post so much.

love the vintage tea cup...and the fuzzy little chick just looks so darling in there. We are still waiting on our Daffs, the parade went right by our house last weekend and was so beautiful. They must have been hoarding all the flowers since the fields look rather empty. Thanks for sharing, but lets have real tea sometime?!

Hi. That is the cutest post! I'm your newest follower. We lived in the country years ago and we had geese...got them because a friend gave me 2 goslings as a Mother's Day present...and this reminded me of Gandalf & Geesela! Daffodils are favorite flowers...maybe my favorite...and are blooming beautifully around here. Thnaks for your post!Ruth

Tea cups are just the most special thing!!! So elegant, with a feel of being special and important. I can remember as a teenager, I always bought my stepmom a teacup for her birthday and Christmas. It grew to be quite a collection. And you can't go wrong with adding chicks to the daffodil theme. They are just the cutest!!!!! Boy, would I love to have a cup of tea with you. It would be the loveliest thing!

My Husband, My Love !

My Husband

My husband has retired and we've entered a new phase of life for us~ relocating a few hundred miles over the mountains and far away from Cedar Pond , the home we built , loved , and tended for more that 2 decades. My husband is still building the pens that enclose my sheep and poultry. My husband is the best chef & cook I know, and he loves to share this gift with friends & family.He is the man who helped me raise our 3 children and he loves even more the blessing of playing with our 11 grandchildren. The grandchildren know he is Santa Claus and just maybe he is! Best of all, my husband loves me, even if I do bring home too many critters to keep out of his gardens.

She has claimed me as hers and devoted to being my companion and protector.

Miss Marple And I Agree on This~

There are so many blogs I read regularly and my taste is eclectic. The blogs listed in this sidebar are not exclusive of blogs I enjoy and the posted list changes when the mood strikes. I in no way endorse everything said and written in the blogs I follow and am only responsible for my own words which on occasion I have to eat. There is one hard-fast rule for me personally, I will not re-read or display any blog which blasphemes my Lord and Savior or mocks Him or His~ Thank-you for taking time to read my blog, I am truly honored you chose to spend a few moments with me!

"One reason we are so harried and hurried is that we make yesterday and tomorrow our business when all that legitimately concerns us is today.If we really have too much to do, there are some items on the agenda which God did not put there. Let us submit the list to Him and ask Him to indicate which items we must delete. There is always time to do the will of God. If we are too busy to do that, we are too busy." Elisabeth Elliot
